Amounting to a whopping **~10% of the circulating supply**, this event has not been spared of FUD. With some expecting a dump, while others not ruling out a pump - in reality, we will have to wait and see what the invisible hand of the markets is cooking. + +Regardless of how the DOT price develops on Tuesday and the weeks that follow, **the HydraDX Protocol retains a strong conviction in the Polkadot ecosystem**. This is our home, we are here to stay, and we are more bullish than ever on Polkadot. + +To celebrate the Great Unlock, the HydraDX Protocol is preparing to **accumulate more DOT** into its Protocol-owned liquidity (POL), **on top of the 400k+ (v)DOT** it already hodls. For this purpose, the Protocol is considering a **Bonds campaign** (subject to a [governance vote](https://hydradx.subsquare.io/democracy/referenda/84)) conducted via an **LBP event**. Besides accumulating more DOT, the Great Unlock will allow us to test two new features that recently hit mainnet. + +

+ + +If approved, the HydraDX Protocol will issue **50,000,000 HDX bonds (HDXb)** with a **1-year maturity**. Once the maturity date has been reached, these bonds are **1:1 redeemable against HDX**. Also before the bonds have matured, **HDXb remain transferable and tradeable on the secondary market** (e.g. OTC). You can [learn more about bonds in our docs](https://docs.hydradx.io/bonds/). + +The method of distribution for this first Bonds campaign will be a **24-hour DOT/HDXb LBP event** - a real throwback for the OG Hydrators out there. The LBP will **kick off on 24.10.2023** - follow our socials for the exact start time. At the start, the HDXb price will be set **22% higher** than the HDX spot price. Over time, the **shifting weights mechanism** of the LBP will **exert downward pressure on the price**. The falling price will be **counteracted by any buy orders** obtaining HDXb from the pool. For the precise configuration of the LBP event please check the [democracy vote](https://hydradx.subsquare.io/democracy/referenda/84). + +Before participating, we encourage everyone to [get familiar with the mechanics of an LBP in our docs](https://docs.hydradx.io/lbp/). + + +Stay hydrated. diff --git a/sidebars.js b/sidebars.js index c3a1e640..3fa41b1f 100644 --- a/sidebars.js +++ b/sidebars.js @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ module.exports = { sidebar: { HydraDX: [ + "great-unlock", "intro", "omnipool_trading", "omnipool_dca", diff --git a/static/great_unlock.jpg b/static/great_unlock.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..1b85f3da Binary files /dev/null and b/static/great_unlock.jpg differ
